Normally a multiplayer game on Game Pass would only benefit Xbox or PC owners, but Game Pass helps out every platform since it has full crossplay functionality. Since the beta also had very few barriers in front of it, Ashton said that Game Pass would offer a similarly low-stakes way to try the game out.
It wasn’t long until they started making plans around launch to continue playing together. They only played rhythm games, but found the free beta.

As a studio, we are excited about the prospects.” I think it’s going to be really good for the game. “So we will hopefully get those players and reach out to a wider audience than we would have otherwise. “If it is not something you would normally play, but it seems like a social thing and you’re more of a social player, but it doesn’t really cost you anything to try it out, you go in, right?” Ashton said. Chris Ashton, Turtle Rock design director and studio co-founder, said that this deal is “awesome because it removes the barrier,” which will help the game grab players it might not normally grab. That automatically puts it in front of at least 25 to 30 million people (if recent rumblings surrounding Game Pass’ subscriber numbers are accurate) for no up-front cost.

Back 4 Blood, Turtle Rock Studios’ upcoming cooperative shooter, seems to be going out of its way to make sure it has hordes of players to combat its hordes of zombies Ridden. And there are multiple aspects that can affect how big that audience is: release date, price, platforms, and quality are just a few of those variables. Multiplayer games are only as strong as their audience.
